This was a remarkable experience everyone should take. Had I one more day to spend, I would have done the Cotopaxi hike as well and thus done the three day adventure. The guides were amazing, informative, and plunge you deep into the recesses of the culture. The attractions go from whimsical to jaw dropping. Local food options are inexpensive and delicious. I highly recommend.

The activity was amazing! We got to see so much and do so much. The views were phenomenal. We got to go down into the crater at Quilotoa and went kayaking on the lake which was spectacular. The guide was super fun and informative! Highly recommend!

We really loved Baños. The area is so beautiful with its volcanic mountains, lush jungles, and waterfalls. Our guide Carlos was amazing. The driver Jimmy was great too. They both went above and beyond to make our experience great. We highly recommend making the trip from Quito.
